My Experiences with Epilepsy

My Chaotic Thanksgiving Thoughts

My thoughts this Thanksgiving are a bit chaotic. This is my first Thanksgiving where I will not be around family or friends. I’m not quite sure how to deal with the situation.

I am an introvert and being by myself doesn’t bother me as much as it would other people. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day where you get together with family and friends. I can’t help, but feel a little lonely.

Most of the rest of my family thinks different politically than I do. I am kind of happy about not having to deal with that. I have about a month to think about strategies to cope with political conversations during Christmas.

I am stressed about my health insurance situation. I made more money this year, so my premium went up (premium is based on income in my state.) This has me a little concerned about how much they are going to cover when I see my neurologist in December.

On top of all of this, I am a little worried about getting the number of classes that I will need to pay the bills.

Even if I decided to go to someone’s place for Thanksgiving, I doubt I would be a good guest.

I think I will marathon supernatural or the x-files for awhile on Netflix. Maybe watch Cosmos since I feel that everyone except myself has seen it.
